I think it's 3km with mobile camera + cop's radar and 2km with standard speed cameras

hopefully i can use that as a defence and rule out the margin of error (3km's) and hopefully get it down to something like 98. I was speaking to my friend today who said he only saw me doing 100 to 105 and that i was slowing down right before i got flashed. none the less, its still a 6 month suspension, unless i get it down to under 95km's which is only 1 month suspension. (dreaming)

You can't use it as a defence because they already subtract the margin of error when they issue your infringement notice. Two speeds will be written, detected (real speed) and alleged (including margin of error). You get charged with the alleged speed.

Hopefully you did slow down but sorry to say this is a common reaction as soon as a camera flashes...you brake and then look at the speedo after you get flashed, trying to remember what speed you were doing when you got flashed. The speed is almost always higher than what we thought we were doing :thumbsup:

Cops gonna knock on your door and give u a trophy..

But y were u doing 105 in a 60 zone anyway? U saw a hot granny walking by didnt ya? lol jks.

Fair enough if it was an 80 zone.

But goodluck anyway man.

95km over is more than 1 month suspension lol

<25 Over is a fine & points, 25-35 is 1 month then 36-45 3 months >45 minimum 6 months and this is when I checked a while ago, I'm sure it's alot stricter now.

yeah, detected speed 64kmh, alleged speed 61kmh.

$134 and 1 point.

LOL that sucks :(

I've been done on 2 occasions for doing 12km over the limit and they took of 3km each, so I just scraped under 10km, saved myself some money and points, luckyyy

court? well f**k, thanks, that makes me feel a f**k tone better. i dont give 2 f**kes about fines, i care that if the cops rock up to my door and my mum is home.

im thinking of going in to the cop station and telling them what i did just so they dont come.

Good. You'll get no pity from me.

And for the record, you haven't even begun to suffer yet :D

Well, i AM suffering waiting for an insurance payout that's kinda late.

And i do need a car for work too.

To the OP, has anyone come for your car yet? Please update us on what kind of penalties you ended up with.

Lol man.... Don't need to kick him while he's down :)

He's already gonna suffer from this, no car, no license, no shelter and no job, surely he doesn't need all of us to jump on his back to tell him he's stupid lols.

      And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
